The presidency has expressed security concerns over comment against the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar by a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.
DAILY POST reports that Babachir, while announcing his resignation from the ADC on Monday, alleged that Atiku is a manipulator, stating that the outcome of the recently concluded primary election of the party was predetermined to favour the former vice president.
According to him, the primary elections at all levels were “massively rigged to favour Kachalla Abubakar Atiku”.
He alleged that results from the polls were “just written or rewritten to favour him and his coven”.
Reacting, Presidential spokesperson, Daniel Bwala in a post on his official X handle, said what the former SGF “said about the candidate of ADC, if verified is scary and will undermine the national security of Nigeria”.
According to Bwala, the plans of opposition leaders plotting to remove President Tinubu in 2027 had been exposed, stating that his principal remained the best candidate.
Bwala claimed that in the past two or three months, “these people were talking about how they were made from heaven as one indivisible and indisoluble coalition sent by God to come and rescue Nigeria; and alas all their intentions and plans have been exposed”.
He said with the allegations against some of the opposition candidates, the “choice for 2027 has never been more clearer. President Tinubu in all honesty is a million miles ahead of them”.
